THE Leather Manufacturers Association, of
Newark, N. j., have adopted and issued the
following circular to their employees:
.Since the formation of the so-called labor
organization there have been strikes. lock-
outs threats and disturbances of different
kinds IN our factory, resulting in loss and
damage to us and causing loss OF time and
money TO our employees and being convinced
that a man who Is not member of such
ganization is as good workman, better cit
tizen, and more apt to be faithful to himself,
his family and his employer than one who is
bound by the rules of such organizations to
obey its orders regardless of consequences,
however unjust tyrannical its commands
may be, and believing that better results will
be obtained by according to both employer
and employee the right of individual contract
for his labor, this factory will hereafter be
open only to such workmen as will agree to
deal Individually with
I'm carrying out the above we do not pro-
pose to reduce wages, but on the contrary,
we favor uniform wages in all manufactures
for the same class of work. We will protect
our workmen from any unlawful interference
or annoyance by any man or body of men as
far as it is possible"
The leather manufacturing interest of
Newark is very large one. For long time
past it has been subject to different kinds of
labor disturbances. This circular is the
suit of long and careful elaboration on the
part of the employing manufacturers, and de-
fines their future line of action. It is simply
declaration of independence, on their part,
of outside or inside dictation and of a deter
mination to control their own business. The
principle of action which they announce and
the reasons they give, all commend them
selves to all intelligent men, employers and
employees alike. Anything more or less than
this means the practical enslavement of one
or both.

THE people of Wilkesbarre, Pa, having
grown tired of ''fooling" with their city gov
eminent, caused the arrest few days ago of
the Mayor, nineteen councilmen and the
street commissioner for failing to keep the
streets in order and otherwise neglecting to
police the city. Quite sensation was caused
when the entire municipal body was marched
before magistrate and held to answer in
$500 EACH The councilmen went bail for one
another, and the chief of police for the
Mayor and street commissioner. If it shall APP
pear on investigation that the people have
Bome rights which city governments are
bound to respect, the American citizen will
thank God and take courage.

Two Black Spots.

Columbus o. Special
1t is a little amusing to take glance over the
field political and where the perpetrators of
election frauds and forgeries and Democratic
boodlers generally have been punished. Cincn-
natl was the first to run some of the rascals
down. The attempt made TO do the same
thing in Columbus, but the Democratic gang
sters bowed up their backs and stood by the
boys with alacrity. even to a Democratic judge

decision was sat down on unanimously by a
United Supreme Court, composed of men of
both parties
In Indianapolis the jury was induced to disa-
gree, after the most positive evidence, the DEM
ocratic members of the jury voting against find
ing the rascals guilty.
Chicago sent of her Democratic fine
workers to the penitentiarv. while one of her
boodlers escaped through the medium OF bath
tub after conviction. and has gone to land
that is further than this.
Even in New York the boodlers are being
convicted at surprisingly rapid rate. every
thing considered.
The only two black spots on the map, where
it is impossible to convict tally-sheet manipu-
lator, are Columbus and Indianapolis.

THE OUTLAW PARTY.

No one who thinks for a moment of the
history of the Democratic party ought to be
surprised at the Democratic defense of Demo-
acquittal which followed, so far as the Demo-
cratic members of the jury could give it, in
the recent conspiracy 1t party
affair throughout. It was Democratic party
affair; and from that party we could expect
nothing else. We ought not to expect the
criminal and outlaw of lifetime to become
honest in his declining years. A party whose
career has been one of lawlessness does not
change in day, nor year, any more than a
man of that character does. 1t may hide its
true self for time and thus deceive those
who wish to believe the best of everything
but it does not change. At the first necessity
it runs up its true colors. In the case of the
Democratic party those colors are the black
flag of the political buccaneer. Its every act
has been an act of lawlessness.
1t was the Democratic party that rebelled
against the lawful authority of the govern
ment in 1861. That one act was enough to
brand it forever as the outlaw rarty-the
pirate of politics. 1t was, virtually, the Dem
ocratic party that from '68 to 80, and even
to the present time overturned law through
out the Southern States in a reign of blood
and terror as base as that Of France in the
scarlet days of her revolution. These
infamous things the Democratic party
sanctioned and confirmed Demo
Gratis conspred to steal the
vote of Oregon outright in 1876, and of that
crime and others worse than that, in Louis
lana and elsewhere that same year, the Dem
ocratic party made virtue and boast Dem
ocrats forged tally-sheets last year at Cincin-
natl and the Democratic party approved the
deed. Democrats corrupted the ballot in
Chicago and the Democratic party said, ''well
done" A Democrat broke open the ballot-box
in indianapolis few months since, and
Democratic Governor appointed that man to
an important office. Democrats trampled
upon law in the last Legislature, and with
hands of violence and force, with the aid of
convicts, thugs and ruffians. placed in the
chair of the lawfully -elected Lieutenant-gov-
ernor a coarse and brutal bully, and for this
act of outlawry the Democratic party are
making of the cheap outlaw, Green Smith,
Democratic saint. Democrats violated tally
sheets in Marion county, and, true to the
record and character of their party, Demo
cratic bosses demanded, and Democratic jur-
ors obediently returned so far as they could,
a verdict of acquittal. No other verdict could
have been expected. 1t is simply one more
circumstance in long line of similar circum-
stances, marking the career of The Outlaw
Party. What that party was as copperhead

THE indianapolis Sentinel says, "The indi-
cations are that plot was to be concocted to
murder Cleveland at ST. Louis" This is an
attempt to stab the Republican party through
the Grand Army of the Republic. The fact
that the charge is utterly false and libelous
does not change its animus or mitigate it's
meanness. For the purpose of injuring the
Republican party, the Sentinel charges that
the old soldiers who are to hold an encamp-
ment at st. Louis, were plotting the murder
of the President. We doubt if the entire his
tory of Democratic partisan journalism will
furnish anything more infamous than this
wholesale libel on the Grand Army.

THE recent large reduction of the Demo

AS an evidence of domestic peace and har-
mony in the Democratic family the following,
from the Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier Journal is interesting:
'The President and Secretary Lamar will
hold Cabinet meeting tomorrow. This will
not be an unusual event, for a matter of
fact on all questions of size and Importance

bers of the Cabinet is never noticed, especially

OF course the country knows it is Cabinet
of nobodies, but it is rather unkind for a
Democratic paper to say so.

Mr.. FRANCIS MURPHY, the temperance
contest in Texas as highly satisfactory. 1t
not to be expected, nor was it to be de-
sired, Mr.. Murphy thinks, that prohibition
should prevail in Texas, but the size of the
vote indicates that the State has walked up to
the Importance of the question. Presently,
he believes, the people there will follow the
example of those in Georgia and other South
ern States and secure by means Of high
license and local option such regulation of the
liquor traffic as could not be obtained under a
prohibitory law. Mr.. Murphy, who has done
more practical work in the way of reforming
drunkards by moral suasion. than an army of
this to say about the temperance element in
politics:
"The Prohibitonists are always fighting
the Republican party. If had to take my
chances for doing good in a political way for
the temperance cause, l would join the Re-
publican party. ] do not think the Prohibi-
tionists will ever elect President. No; a
man must first prohibit himself his
appetite, for all the laws in the land cannot
do that for him. Whisky is sold right along in
prohibition States. The only power that
can save a drunkard is the gospel; that power
is sufficient and with its aid the temperance
sentiment is steadily growing, that nova
days all large business concerns absolutely re-
quire habits of sobriety on the part of their
employees"
Mr.. Murphy writes himself down in such
utterances as these as a good deal of Chris
ton statesman.
